Happy Teachers' Day from Geniebook

When it comes to education, there’s nothing more important than having a teacher by your side. Although Geniebook prides itself on providing a learning environment that’s personalised according to each student’s preferences and needs, the truth is that it’s only made possible by our teachers.

For Teachers’ Day this year, we’ve made an extra special effort to recognise their hard work and dedication by hosting an exclusive dinner party and a fun awards ceremony, and getting our students to send in some personal letters of appreciation.

It’s (finally) time to party it up

Everyone at Geniebook works super hard, but none more so than our teachers - they regularly pull long hours and take on multiple responsibilities, just so they can do their best for the students under their care.

It can be difficult to get them to even take a short break, but luckily for us, Teachers’ Day is the perfect occasion to make them put down their marking pens. So we did our best to organise a themed dinner party for them as a token of appreciation!

Fun fact about the teachers: they’re a bubbly bunch and they actually like to hang out with each other, making this occasion a prime opportunity for some fun and games.

Cool awards for even cooler teachers

In the weeks leading up to the dinner party, we asked our students to vote for their teachers in Geniebook’s very own Teachers’ Day Awards 2023. And no, we weren’t going for boring categories like ‘Best Maths Teacher’ or something like that - think ‘Pun-tastic Pro' or ‘Always Hair-py’ instead.

As you can imagine, there were loads of clapping and cheering during the awards ceremony during the dinner party. We’ll spare you the blow-by-blow account: check out the list of winners below!
